Microsoft Project Server 2010 includes new features that help you customize what project, resource, and task data is displayed for users. It also includes new features that integrate with Excel Services in SharePoint, making it easier to create rich custom reports. With these new features, Project Server 2010 offers a flexible, unique enterprise project management solution for your organization.

Project Server 2010 lets you associate project types, resources, and custom fields with departments. This helps provide a focused view of project and task information based on which departments a user belongs to. For example, if Bob is assigned to the HR department, he will have a filtered view of the project types and custom fields available to those users who are part of the HR department. Although departments are not a security feature, they can be helpful in de-cluttering what a user sees, making it easier to find or provide the most suitable information about projects and tasks.

Use custom fields and lookup tables to capture data that may be unique to your project or organization. New to Project Server 2010 is the ability to add workflow-controlled custom fields and multi-lined custom fields.

In Project Server 2010, reporting is integrated with Excel Services, and additional data is available to include in your organization's reports. You can now include timesheet custom fields, portfolio data, project properties, and the Combined Work field. Reports are typically customized by the site administrator.
